[Buildbot-devel] PATCH: environment variables spread over multiple lines

[A.T.Hofkamp]

While debugging a PATH problem, I got annoyed with the very long environment 
line, and made the following change:

          # then the environment, since it sometimes causes problems
-        msg = " environment: %s" % (self.environ,)
-        log.msg(" " + msg)

          # this will be buffered until connectionMade is called
          if self.initialStdin:

Instead of sending the environment out in one line, it puts each env variable 
on a seperate line making it more readable while debugging.

Maybe something to put into the next release?
